4/17: Keeneland (5th-9th)

[Kasept]

Was traveling much of the afternoon Saturday but got to enjoy some of the day's best action, literally and figuratively. Monster-priced top pair in the Blue Grass were heavily touted on ATR, and the photo finish between Mrs. Weber's Brilliant Speed (19-1) and Maker's Twinspired (24-1) would have been just as productive with the opposite finish ($633 exacta). For close listeners to ATR, Rick Hammerle provided 2 tabs for the day, the first of which was $40 Brilliant Speed. He followed that up with $52 Archarcharch, my third choice, who in the Arkansas Derby ran his best race and emphatically stamped the Derby passport for Jon Court and father in law Jinks Fires. It was a popular victory for purists, and there won't be a more joyous barn to be around at the Downs these next next three weeks than the Longfield shed with the red "Flying F". Nehro was second, and gets Ahmed Zayat back to the Derby after the Eskenderaya disappointment. Finally at Chuck Town late Saturday, top tab Duke of Mischief ($11.80) came through to win the $1MM Classic for David Fawkes and Co. under Joe Bravo. Hope you did well Saturday! Quick glance at today's KEE action from here in South Florida! ATR from the Margate studio Monday!
